I've been meaning to write you a letter for some time now. Hopefully, I will continue to write these. I want to tell you what a joy it is having you in my life.
You make everyone smile when you smile. I know that sounds sappy, but it is true. Also true: you scare me sometimes! Two days ago, we were playing in the driveway waiting for your dad to get home. I turned on the silly sprinkler. You know, the one with all of the wiggly sprayers? You wanted to play with your Jake and the Neverland Pirates sword so you could hit the water. After a while you were stabbing the driveway with it. Eventually, you impaled a cherry. And do you know what the first thing you said was? "Look mom. My sword has blood on it."
Ok, it's a little scary that you recognize blood but I understand. That is how life goes. You are going to learn that your blood is red. And that sword can get blood on them. It is more scary that as a mom of a 3 year old I feel I have failed as a parent to shelter you from that. Oh well. What is done is done.
Now for the truly scary part. You stick the sword in your mouth after stabbing that cherry "blood". I tell you not to do that. I mean, you don't know what has driven over the cherries, if dogs have peed or licked them, what bugs may have crawled in there, etc. Gross. Your response? "But I have to get the blood off."
Wait, what?!? You get BLOOD off of your sword by licking it? I know you have never seen a tv show or movie that does that. Where did this come from? Your own brain?!? AHHHHHH! Do I need to sleep with the door locked at night? What did I do after that? I laughed! That is hilarious. Creepy, but hilarious.
Please don't be a serial killer.
If you are, I guess we know where the turning point was. My bad. :) I'm not sure where you get your macabre sense of humor, but I love it. Now stop sticking your sister with the Bowzer shell and get ready for "school" (AKA. daycare).
I love you forever my peanut.
Mom
